Buying a home can be a daunting experience even if you have done it before. It is stressful but also one
of the most exciting and memorable events in life.
Bartons provide you with an easy to use website that allows you to search for your ideal home right here.
You can use the Property Search Function or even by our interactive Google Map. When you want to look at a
property in more detail you will be offered additional area information such as locality to the nearest pubs
and schools.
Be ready to view at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment. Be sure however to budget correctly,
know the up-front costs associated with buying, and obtain professional and independent mortgage advice at an
early stage. Ask us for details or click our link.
In summary
Know Your budgets - Establish exactly what your up-front and ongoing costs are. Obtain independent
mortgage advice and obtain a conveyancing quote. Ask us for help.
Think about your needs - Look at the practicalities, make sure you do your homework and that you
buy for the right reasons.
Arrange viewings - Research our website, make a shortlist of suitable properties and call or email
to arrange a viewing to suit.
Make an offer - Once you have viewed and considered your offer, please call us at the earliest
opportunity to make it formal. We will present the offer to our vendors immediately and inform you of its
progress by return.
Agreeing the Sale - Once we have established the suitability to proceed we will agree with you on
an anticipated exchange of contracts date, completion date and confirm details of any extras included or
excluded from the sale.
Exchange of Contracts - The legally binding part. Contracts are signed by you and the seller, a
formal completion date is set and any deposit moneys should be deposited with your solicitor at this stage.
Completion - This is set generally a few days or weeks after you exchange contracts. Moneys are
sent from your solicitor and you can arrange to collect the keys!
